Follow (Re)Generation Who

It’s just one week to (Re)Generation Who 4! We’re all preparing for the big day — as we’re sure you are! So we’ll have a few notes and announcements over the course of the next few days to make sure you have everything you need to enjoy the weekend.

First off, autograph and photo-op presales end this Wednesday at noon EDT! This is new information, and overrides any previously-made announcements. Con registration should be available past then and through the event weekend. However, if you want to purchase photos and autographs in advance and use your credit card, this will be your last chance to do so. On site, transactions will be done primarily (if not solely) in cash. So if you don’t want to hit the ATM or carry a bunch of $20s around with you all weekend, pre-purchase your autographs and photos now!

Also, don’t forget to grab a spot at one of our special events! These limited-seating events are a separate charge from the badge itself, and are a great way to add a unique experience to your weekend:

Talking And Relaxing Drinks Including Snacks ($125): A hotel-catered get-together Friday evening with hot appetizers. If you missed out on a spot at Tea with the Doctor, this is a great chance to meet some of our guests in a relaxed setting!

Quantum Hypnosis with Nicola Bryant ($50): Classic-era companion Nicola Bryant is a registered hypnotherapist, and is bringing her unique self-help method to (Re)Gen! This will be the very first time Nicola has held this session with anyone but private clients. Bring a notepad and pencil, a blanket, and a cushion and something to lie on.

Both events have limited space — so add them to your registration now so you can be assured of a spot! We cannot guarantee that there will be room at either on the day of.

Got a big weekend of panels planned and don’t want to miss a moment? Worried about having enough cash on you during the con weekend? We’ve got you covered!

You’ve still got time to preorder autographs and photo ops before the event — which has plenty of advantages when it comes to planning out your weekend.

1. You can use your credit card! Due to how our autographs and photo ops work, most of our guests will only be taking cash if you purchase on-site. Ordering in advance means that you can put it on your credit card and not have to make a trip to the nearest ATM or bring lots of cash to the event.

2. You know you’ll get what you’re there for! We keep (Re)Gen deliberately smaller than many events, but there’s always a chance lines will run long. If you purchase ahead of time, you won’t have to sweat your dream photo op or autograph moment getting sold out at the last minute.

3. Your weekend will be easier to plan! We have a few pre-reg only sessions early in the day, which means fans who purchase online can get their photo done first thing, then see the rest of the event! And even if there’s no pre-reg only option for your guest of choice, you’re still guaranteed your spot — which means more time to explore our panels and events!

Even if you’ve already registered, you can still add autographs and photos in advance. Just go to our registration page, choose “None” under Event Fee, then click the boxes for your preferred ops.

If you’re still on the fence about picking up VIP merch, you don’t have long left… shirt sales for both our regular and VIP shirts end today at 11:59 PM Eastern time! After that, the order goes off to our printer.

VIP Tiers 2 and up will get this year’s adorable “Doctor Hoot” shirt, featuring the First and Twelfth Doctors. Show off your ReGen pride, and your love for all eras of Doctor Who, with this cute three-color design! Buying this VIP tier will also get you a gorgeous art print featuring our three Doctors, early entry to the Vendors Room, and entry to our ReGenerators party.

This year’s standard con tee features a throwback design and icons for each of our three attending Doctors. Both shirts (as well as our Tier 1 art) were designed by our staff artist and graphic designer, Ginger Hoesly.

You’ve only got a few hours left to pick up these designs, so add them to your registration now! (If you’re already registered, just choose “none” under the Event Fee heading.)

We’re sad to say that, due to a family commitment, Jenny Colgan will be unable to join us in 2018. We wish her all the best, and hope she’ll be able to join us in future years!

In her stead we will be bringing author Nev Fountain, whom we’ve previously had at (Re)Gen years 1 and 2. Nev is the author of several Big Finish productions, including the fan-favorite Peri and the Piscon Paradox. He has also contributed to Doctor Who Magazine, various anthologies (both fiction and non fiction), and premiered his original thriller Pain Killer at ReGen 2.

We’re looking forward to welcoming Nev back this year!

If you’re still on the fence about registering, be sure to do so soon — and be sure to get your VIP tier and T-shirt orders in, as T-shirt sales and VIP Tier 2+ sales close this Friday! We will attempt to have shirts in a few sizes on hand at the event, but cannot guarantee availability. So check out what we have on our merch page, then register or add them to an existing reg!

Head to our registration form to register and reserve in advance, or to add photo ops to an existing registration. You can also add VIP levels (which get you shirts, charms, early Vendor Room access, and other cool perks!), con shirts, solo autographs and photo ops, and more!

Here at Onezumi Events, we are dedicated to providing a fun, comfortable, and safe experience for all our attendees, regardless of needs. Our previous events have included accessible seating and ASL interpreter “check-out” for attendees.

This year, we are proud to announce that (Re)Generation Who 4 will usher in the opening of our new dedicated Access Services Department, headed up by long-time staffer Meredith Peruzzi.

Peruzzi has been working as an interpreter in the East Coast con scene for 15 years, and has worked with the Deaf community for her entire life. As a museum director at Gallaudet University, she has had opportunities to learn new solutions for accommodation issues of all types. She’s also happy to listen — both to professionals in the field and to the people for whom accommodation is provided — to explore new ideas as necessary.

The new Access Department will continue to supply ASL interpreters as ever. But Peruzzi’s extra focus means the beginning of some new initiatives: “seat in line” options for those who cannot stand for long periods, designated seating for those with low vision, and special seating for those requiring mobility devices.

Of her new job, Peruzzi says: “I am committed to providing access that goes beyond the ADA and into providing a truly wonderful experience for our attendees.”

If you are an attendee and would like to request assistance from our Access Services Department for this year’s con, please email assistance@regenerationwho.com

Still on the fence about coming to this year’s event? Time is running out to preregister — and with big guests like Peter Capaldi, Michelle Gomez, and Rachel Talalay, we may fill the venue this year! Register now for single day or full weekend membership — and add on VIP tiers, autographs, photo ops, and more in advance!

Don’t fall asleep on us — the con is almost a month away! We’re working away on our programming schedule so you can start planning your awesome Doctor Who weekend, and will make an announcement when it’s ready to go. That’s when we’ll announce schedules for photo ops, too — thanks for your patience!

In the meantime, we’re getting closer to our deadline for shirt orders! Remember, the cutoff for con shirt orders and VIP Tiers 2 and up is March 4. After that, we will be closing orders for both standard shirts and VIP Tiers 2+. We will have some shirts in a limited number of common sizes at the event, but if you want to make sure you get the right fit, best to order now!

Our standard shirt has a sweet vintage design, featuring symbols for each of our three attending Doctors.

And our VIP shirt (included in Tier 2 and up) features two cute Doctor Hoots! Both are designed by staff designer Ginger Hoesly and printed at Imagination Print and Design. For accurate sizing, please consult our size chart.

Red Fish Rue Fish has also designed us some absolutely adorable glow-in-the-dark Cyberman zipper pulls! Tier 3 and up will be receiving these cuties. Don’t worry, they’re not actually crying — they’re just waiting for their forever home!

Plus, the Tier 1 VIP print is ready to show!

Here’s a look at Ginger’s art for 2018, featuring three Doctors rocking out. (VIP Tier 1 can be purchased on site and will include both the print and access to our ReGenerators mixer party, where you can hang out with other VIP attendees!)

Hit up our merch page for more info, then order your swag for pick-up at the event! VIP tiers and shirts can be purchased either at the time of registration, or added to an existing reg. You can also pre-order autographs and photo ops with your favorite guests!

Time is speeding along… and after this weekend, the price of a full weekend membership for (Re)Gen will go up!

This Sunday, February 11 at 11:59 PM will be your last chance to grab a weekend membership at $80. After that, prices go up to $90 in advance. That’s still one of the lowest prices you’ll see around for a cast list like this, but if you’re looking to save a few dollars for autographs and merch, get the best deal while you can!

Plus — while we do offer VIP tiers for things like limited-edition shirts and prints, and while we do have a couple of ticketed catered events (like Coffee with the Creators, which still has spaces!), a badge gets you access to all the panels! You don’t have to pay extra to attend any of our Big Events programming. If you’re in, you’re in!

We’re busily bringing together programming, events, and surprises… but we have time for one more guest announcement as things get underway for next month. Please welcome writer Jenny Colgan to our event!

Jenny is a best-selling author of slice-of-life fiction, and is also a writer (and major fan) in the world of Doctor Who! Her works include Tenth Doctor book In the Blood, Eleventh Doctor book Dark Horizons, and entries in The Legends of River Song and The Legends of Ashildr, to name a few. We can’t wait to welcome this amazing writer and fellow fan to our event!

Jenny will be joining fellow Who creatives Rachel Talalay, Robert Shearman, Paul Magrs, and many more for our fourth year! And for fans who want some extra time with the people behind the scenes of the show, we’re hosting a Coffee with the Creators event! Add a ticket to your registration before it sells out!
